Open world Metal Gear Solid. Dynamic weather systems. Horseback stealth. Unparalleled strategic freedom. The only way that the Metal Gear Solid V showing at Microsoft's press conference could have been better would have been if it had been narrated by a man with gravel where his larynx should be.

Microsoft did well getting Kojima onstage, so much so that Major Nelson had to admit that MGS V would not, in fact, be an Xbox One exclusive, but it was looking good running on Microsoft's machine, and Jack Bauer makes for a good Snake at this first glance.
